  • Sandra Faber Receives $500,000 Gruber Cosmology Prize
    Media Contact: A. Sarah Hreha +1 (203) 432-6231 [email protected] Online Newsroom: www.gruber.yale.edu/news-media SANDRA FABER RECEIVES $500,000 GRUBER COSMOLOGY PRIZE FOR CAREER ACHIEVEMENTS Sandra Faber May 17, 2017, New Haven, CT – The 2017 Gruber Foundation Cosmology Prize recognizes Sandra M. Faber for a body of work that has helped establish many of the foundational principles underlying the modern understanding of the universe on the largest scales. The citation praises Faber for “her groundbreaking studies of the structure, dynamics, and evolution of galaxies.” That work has led to the widespread acceptance of the need to study dark matter, to an appreciation of the inextricable relationship between the presence of dark matter and the formation of galaxies, and to the recognition that black holes reside at the heart of most large galaxies. She has also made significant contributions to the innovations in telescope technology that have revolutionized modern astronomy. Through these myriad achievements, the Gruber citation adds, Faber has “aided and inspired the work of astronomers and cosmologists worldwide.” Faber will receive the $500,000 award as well as a gold medal at a ceremony this fall. Less than a hundred years ago, astronomers were still debating whether our Milky Way Galaxy was the entirety of the universe or if other galaxies existed beyond our own. Today astronomers estimate the number of galaxies within the visible universe at somewhere between 200 billion and 2 trillion. For more than four decades Faber—now Professor Emerita at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and Astronomer Emerita of the University of California Observatories—has served as a pivotal figure in leading and guiding the exploration of this unimaginably vast virgin scientific territory.

High performance tech- nology in 3D-spectroscopy in the optical/NIR regime and in radio in- terferometry allows for the first time the efficient mapping of stars, gas, and dust, in galaxies near and far. Detailed measurements of individual objects are complemented by surveys aiming at a full census of galaxies across the local Universe. Reaching out to the limits of the Universe, the evolution of spatially resolved properties is traced along the whole cos- mic history. Likewise to these observational campaigns, new computer technology and highly advanced algorithms are exploited for detailed simulations to probe the underlying physical and cosmological connec- tion.
